Kodak Photo Frame Matches Décor

Digital photo frames are great as presents, in a college dorm, or on a desk at
work. They allow you to have your pictures displayed without being limited to
one print. The frames can simply scroll through hundreds or thousands of your
shots keeping your photo fresh. There have been two downsides to photo frames,
though, and I recently witnessed the unveiling of Kodak's answer.

First, manufactures have battled over who has the nicest frame...not
the screen, but actually the frame itself. Companies always claim they have the
nicest design that will match any décor. Quite a statement. Kodak broke ground
and introduced the new Kodak Easyshare D830 Digital Frame($139.95) that enables consumers to enjoy and share stunning displays of their
digital images within hundreds of traditional picture frames. The new Décor
Series has a clever interchangeable faceplate design to not only fit the nice
wood frame that comes with it, but to be customizable with hundreds of standard
8"x10" frames you might already own or find on the shelves. So now you can
truly match your room and even other frames.

Second, photo frames have
almost replaced sitting on the coach flipping through a large photo album. You
can just grab the frame off the table and 'flip' through your pictures on the
screen. This sounds nice, but that frame usually has a power cord that can get
tangled or might not even reach your coach. Unplug it and your images turn off.
The new Kodak Easyshare S730 Digital Frame($139.95 starting in September) features a built-in rechargeable battery which
allows you to unplug and enjoy your pictures wire-free for up to an hour, or as
Kodak says, "Unplug and share."
